Australian red cedar (#Toona ciliata) is one of the few deciduous Australian trees and the most attractive one (in my eyes). However, due to heavy logging for its highly sought-after timber, only small trees survive in the subtropical forests of NSW and QLD nowadays.

Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) is one of the most common conifers in eastern-to-central North America. Note how it is growing out in the open in a sunny area and is one of the few woody plants in the habitat where it is growing.

This species tends to grow on sites with nutrient-poor, barren, or poorly-developed soils, and is also tolerant of high pH which you find both in limestone outcroppings, and in more general habitats moving west into semiarid regions.

This one is growing in Dickson, TN, which is part of the Western Highland Rim ecoregion. This regions tends to have poor soils but also has a lot of calcium-rich soils which redcedars love.

I've been experimenting with a little bit of joinery lately. Do I know what I'm doing? No. Do I like what I'm doing? Yes!

Fun fact, eastern redcedar isn't a cedar, it's a juniper!

Anyways, the wood is from a hunk of redcedar and I've been using some tools I got recently to practice. Also made a couple rough combs (not pictured here) for help in weaving.

I've been trying to find out what the color molecule(s) is in the heartwood, with no luck, but i'm wondering if it can be used to dye things. I'll be collecting wood chips from my carving and i want to experiment with different things (pH, temperature, time, etc) to see if it works. At the very least it might give a tan/brown.

Other woods can make pretty neat colors, such as logwood, sandalwood, osage orange, etc. so it's not an experiment without precedent! Not expecting anything quite as vibrant as the ones mentioned but will still see what goes down

‘Infinity’

Inspired by the infinity symbol (∞) ; a line that never ends. 

For a couple who recently tied the knot amidst the pandemic. 

Made with red cedar and marbled anigre veneer bottoms. Wenge lids with dyed goat leather lid tabs. Using a mixture of half lapped joints, dovetails and secret mitred finger joints. 

A small technical feat for me, (and for those in the know) in terms of calculation and trying my very best to get everything squared.
